THE NORFOLK NAVY YARD.
Claims Presented for Its Share OF Work
to BE Done.

The committee appointed by the mu-
nicipal authorities of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va, are at the Ebbitt. The CON-
mittee is composed of Mayor Barton Ny
ers, Of Norfolk; Mayor j. Thompson Baird,
Of Portsmouth, and Messrs. r. A. Dobie,
T. r. Cooke, Norfolk, and w. A. Smith
and G. s. Sherwood, Portsmouth. Repre-
sentative elect George L. Bowden is also
with the committee.
On Wednesday they were accorded a
hearing by the House committee on COM
merce, where they represented the interests
Of Norfolk against the bill lately presented
by Hon. John s. Barbour changing the
boundaries Of the Norfolk collection dis
trict.
several years the collector Of customs for
the port of Norfolk, ably represented the
interests Of Norfolk, and opposed the
change.
On yesterday the same committee went
before the Secretary Of the Navy and pressed
upon his attention the claims OF the Norfolk
navy yard for fair share of the new work
to be done by that department. They were
most cordially received by the Secretary
and attentively listened to. They were
much encouraged, and hope that the yard
at Norfolk, which has so many advantages,
will not be overlooked when the new work
is allotted to the different navy yards. In
many respects that yard is the best equipped
In the country. The plant Is very large
one, with all the best machinery. On ac-
count Of the delightful climate work can be
done there all the year round, and steamers
and vessels can enter there at all times, as
the port is never closed on account Of ice.
Its proximity also to the best timber lands
of North Carolina is another great advant-
age In favor Of that yard.

CHIEF NE-KA.KE-PA-NAH.

Present.
Sometime since Commissioner Atkins
visited the Usage Indians and suggested to
them that they take allotments OF land and
give up the rest for white settlers. Itseems
that Ne-ka-ke-pa.nah, principal chief Of
the tribe, has been looking about to see how
those accepting allotments get along, and
from his observations has concluded that It
is not the big thing represented. The fol-
lowing communication sent TO representa-

chief, and shows his way Of thinking in re-
gard to the matter:

HOTEL THIEF CAPTURED.
He Is Recognized AS an Old Operator
in This City.

Detectives Horne and Raft yesterday ar
rested hotel thief, who gave the name Of
Williams, at boarding house on Missouri
avenue, near Four-and.a-half street. The
man is about 40 years old, wears sandy
beard, and is neatly dressed, and when
searched three watches, revolver, and q
sum OF money, and O pair Of woolen socks,
which he used over his shoes in entering
room, were found on him. In one OF his
pockets an officer found pair of nippers
shaped like tuning fork, which he used In
turning key in lock. Monday night
guest in the ST. James Hotel caught
Williams In his room, and took from him
gold watch and jewelry that the thief had
stolen. The gentleman. not wishing to be
detained in the city, refused to prosecute
under the name Of G. A. Wilson. Tuesday
night he registered at Solari's as J.. A.
johnson, Of Virginia, and succeeded In
stealing $21 and q watch from guest there.
AT 2 o'clock yesterday morning he regis
tered at the Hotel Brunswick as George
Waller. He left before daylight, carrying
away with him 50. 40 In money, a revolver,
stole from the occupant of room 0. He
also entered rooms 4, 9, and IL and tried to
enter No. 6. but the lodger frightened him
off. The detectives yesterday morning 10.
Gated the man, and calling at the house they
learned that he had been there two weeks,
and was known by the name Of Williams.
He was In bed when the officers called, and
the landlady was rather reluctant about
allowing him to be disturbed. He was a
good man, she said, and was about to join
her church. Besides, he stayed home all
day and slept. Williams pretended to be
sick at the stomach and wanted to vomit In
private, but the racket failed. The officers
were not to be caught mapping in that way.
His idea was to get rid Of the stolen prop
erty In his pockets, and which later on
proved to be the articles stolen from the
hotels mentioned. He confessed his acts,
aud wanted to "square" them by returning
the plunder.
He was recognized as the man who was
arrested for robbing the Riggs House five
years ago. His practice was to go to a
hotel about ! O'Clock in the morning and

Sickness of Mrs. Emmons Requires
Postponement of the Trial.
AS the REPUBLICAN, announced yesterday
the hearing in the case Of Mrs. Emmons
was not resumed. The old circuit court
room was densely packed, nearly all the
chairs being occu pied by ladies', and many
showed their disappointment when 1t was
decided TO postpone the hearing for au-
other day. The hour for the meeting had
been fixed at 10 O'Clock, but it was some
minutes later before any action was taken
in the case.
Mrs Emmons came down to her coun.
sells Office and he directed her to return to
the hotel on account of Ill health.
Mr.. Garnett subsequently stated to the
marshal and jury that for the present he
desired continuance Of the case. Refer
ence was made to the illness Of the mother
OF Mr.. Emmons, lady n years OF age.
Mrs. Emmons directed him to state that she
felt great affection for the lady on account
Of ties of marriage and many kindnesses
she had received. II had been his intention
to put her on the stand yesterday, but she
did not think It proper and right that she
should be testifying while her mother-in-
law was lying at the point Of death. He
therefore requested continuance for one
week on that ground. Mr.. Garnett further
stated that Mrs. Emmons was In very ner-
vous condition; that she had taken medi-
cine on physician's prescription, which
rendered her unfit TO go on the stand. She
had come in carfinge at his summons by
telephone, but upon seeing her condition he
had directed her to go back to the hotel and
he would refuse to put her on the stand.
After some further discussion 1t was de-
cided to adjourn the hearing until to day at
IL o'clock.

CREDITS BETTER THAN DEBTS.
Congressman Phelps Much Pleased
with Consul Catlin's Present.

congressman Phelps Much Pleased
With Consul Catlin's Present.
Many congressman nowadays are envious
of Mr.. Phelps's good fortune. 1t seems
that in New Jersey congressman get gifts
and don't have to make them, so that his
credits are much better than his debts. In
other districts the balance is the other way.
He has to give seeds, maps, and public
documents, while he receives nothing but
duns and growls. In Paterson, however,
it's part Of New YEARS. duty for every
producing constituent to send over to Tea
neck lMr. Phelps's home), as a pleasant
reminder of the season, the last best pro-
duct Of his loom and smithy and farm. In
the long list Of this years gifts, which In
cludes among other things Holstein bull
and dozen silk handkerchiefs of the pre-
seribed red color, nothing is said to have
pleased Mr. Phelps 80 much as something
sent by Consul Catlin from Zurich, Switzer-
land. Mr.. Catlin, who is growing gray In
the service, having represented for years the
business interests OF the government at
Rochelle, Stuttgart, and Zurich, is h college
classmate OF Mr.. Phelps and very ardent
friend. Indeed, when Mr.. Phelps first ran
for Congress sMr. Catlin came way from
Stuttgart for the purpose, cast his vote at
Paterson, and took the next steamer on his
return. The gift was the first edition OF the
Spectator, published In 1712. 1t was In per-
feet condition, having been for over hun
dred years in the possession OF a Swiss fam
lily. Mr.. Catlin's eye had been on the
treasure for q long while, little dreaming
that any bibllophile would ever get the OPP
portunity to secure it. When, suddenly
and without any notice, it was advertised,
sold at auction, bought by our consul and
that same day shipped to the new world.
This episode was the only break In the two
months assiduous work Mr.. Catliu has been
giving to his report on the forestry of switz-
erland, which is soon to be transmitted to
the department, and with the departments
permission, republshed in answer to what
seems great demand for the information
contained in II.
